>There are still problems, depending on your code. I'm currently fighting a bug with long file names. IMO, the best solution would be for VFP to internally call GetShortPathName() for anything using a filename. In the meantime, I've having to put this call into LOTS of code.

Are your problems related to spaces / special characters only?

I use LFN for table names, and others, but only use characters, underscores and digits, for safety. I had no problem thus far.
